ISO 50001 Energy Management Workshop held at Andhra Pradesh
We all know that non-replenishable energy resources are rapidly depleting. The global demand for energy is increasing, so is the costs of the energy sources, such as coal, petroleum and other fossil fuels. So we can clearly observe that all the business organizations in general, need to collaborate their efforts to conserve energy, for the coming future. There is a critical need for the adaptation of the management framework as regards the conservation of the energy resources. At the present time, the business entities have to take a proactive position and adopt more sensible and energy-efficient solutions for sustainable economic development. There is a need to bring a change in the day to day operations in accordance with a universal standard for energy efficiency. Consequently, ISO 50001 certification is the globally recognized benchmark for brilliance in energy management policies.
In the wake of global awareness towards energy efficiency, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) with the assistance of Andhra Pradesh State Government had recently organized a workshop for energy management as per the ISO 50001 directives.
1. What was the aim of the ISO 50001 energy management workshop?
The ISO 50001 energy management workshop was held at Vishakhapatnam by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) in collaboration with the Union Ministry of Power and the Andhra Pradesh State Energy Conservation Mission (APSECM). The aim of the orientation workshop was to highlight the significance of ISO 50001:2018 energy management standards in the corporate sector.
2. What were the key issues discussed at the ISO 50001 EnMS workshop?
The Senior official of the BEE Sh. Sunil Khandare has stated that awareness on the utilization of ISO 50001:2018 energy management structures would definitely benefit the industries in the state.
-
The Andhra Pradesh Energy Regulatory Commission (APERC) reports have revealed that companies running in Andhra Pradesh exhaust 20,026 of the 59,162 million units (MUs) of the power allocated.
-
ISO 50001 certification standards will empower these companies to use power even more capably and pass on different focal points over the supply chain.
-
This will result in lower energy usage, redesigned power use with lower costs and less environmental damage.
-
The movement needs to be driven for an improved work environment throughout the organization.
-
Referring to a 2017 Niti Aayog report, Khandare has cited that India is most likely going to reach 25% of the rising worldwide energy demand by the year 2040.
-
At a comparative time, the ozone depletion sources such as CFC are going to reach 75% of total greenhouse emission in the country.
-
Energy usage in undertakings in the country is depended upon to show up at 443.4 a large number of colossal measures of oil proportionate (Mtoe) by 2031 as against the present use of 347 Megatons.
The ISO 50001 EnMS can help the organizations to strike a perfect balance between the availability and costs of the power resources.
3. How can ISO 50001 certification assist in energy management?
ISO 50001 certification can empower an organization to rationalize the energy use and switch to a more proficient energy management system(EnMS).
-
An ISO 50001 EnMS urges you to develop a perfect methodology to manage energy utilization.
-
With ISO 50001, associations cut both use and costs by lessening their reliance on conventional power sources
-
The most huge change is the introduction of the High-Level Structure. This ensures compatibility with all other essentialness management system standards including ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 by streamlining all the management systems.
-
For considerably increasingly productive execution of energy management framework, the new form of ISO 50001 has been presented:- the ISO 50001:2018.
